Today in Chemical History Ernest Rutherford was born on this date in 1871

Rutherford discovered the difference between alpha
and beta radiation. He also discovered that elements
have a half life and that one radioactive element
would spontaneously turn into another by expelling a
piece of the atom at high velocity. Many scientists of
the day scorned the idea as alchemy. They stuck with
the age-old belief that the atom is indivisible and
unchangeable. But by 1904 Rutherford's publications
and achievements gained recognition.
Several of the century's giants in physics studied
under him, including Niels Bohr, James Chadwick,
and Robert Oppenheimer.

1871 - 1937

Our DNA makes us who we are, but what
made our DNA the way it is? Trace the
history of our DNA with New York Times
bestselling author Sam Kean as he
highlights some of the subjects covered in
his book, “The Violinist’s Thumb.” You will
learn more about our DNA and its history

have hoped for. There will also be some
interesting facts about Einstein’s Brain to
boot.
